Homemade Slushie Recipe-from Family Corner July 16, 2008
In my inbox this morning was my weekly newsletter from http://www.familycorner.com. In the newsletter there are always crafts, things to do, parent info, and recipes. One article caught my eye immediately, HOMEMADE SLUSHIES. Every week my kids say “Can we go get a Slurpee” my response is “No, sorry too expensive”. The main reason I don’ t do this is because the closest 7-11 is 25 miles away and it would take me at least 45-60 minutes to get there. Traffic and the cost of gas just sucks!
I know this will help on those HOT days we have been getting lately. Plus it’s very easy too make.
Slushies
1 package of unsweetened Kool-Aid drink mix, any flavor
2 cups of water
1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar
4 cups ice
In a blender, combine Kool-Aid, water and sugar. Blend. Add all the ice and blend. Done!
Variations: For Coca Cola, simply add one can of Coke and enough ice to cover and blend. Or add a scoop of ice cream before pouring in the slushie, yum!
NOTE: It is best to use a blender with an “ice crushing” feature on it.
